"Personally at this point if I wanted a 950 I would be very hesitant to plonk down my hard earned $$$ until they've been shipping for 6-8 months."

Hence my "1050 holdover" post...

Are these order numbers continuous? Are they only for the 950, or do they include all products Outlaw ships? These are simply rhetorical questions to think about regarding the estimate.

Outside of the hiss, absolutly zero additional issues in my 7 weeks use of my 950. Any additional "fixes"/mods made by Outlaw during this process would seem to be minor, and most likley welcomed based on my experience. Actually, it be kinda like getting an updated version ala the Rotel 1066, and what it seems like 20 or 30 "updates" via the web/user. Anyone wonder why it appears so many updates have been made post sales/shipment of the 1066? While nice you can do it from home, I wonder why so many. Could it be the 1066 started selling too soon?

Merc, do you think the earlier 950's might perform better than the later 950's?

I think, that there may also be "behind the scenes" software updates going on for the 950. I.e., that newer units get "different" software than earlier units as engineers find things to improve. For example, I have heard of at least 2 of the updates for the Rotel containg code to improve the steering to the rear channels.

BTW, the Sony TA-E9000ES was the same way. Fast and furious upgrades at the beginning of product life, and then they petered out as they finally "got it right".

Too bad there's no easy way to find out the "rev" of a 950...

Hmmm... No code for what version software your unit is running?

At least the user can update software on the Sony and Rotel units.

You could probably ask Outlaw based on the serial number...

That's interesting; I wonder if there's a "magic" sequence you can hit on the remote to get it to show you the code version?
